Bring your experience of operating permitted waste facilities – ideally including a landfill operation – and your strong leadership skills to take on the challenge of managing Grundon’s Wingmoor facility in Gloucestershire. It’s been operating for over 25 years and comprises quarry landfill (non-hazardous), hazardous waste landfill, APCr treatment plant and all the vital infrastructure. If you have a genuine interest in helping to shape the future of landfill operations and drive environmental innovation, you could be at the helm of this flagship facility.

What you’ll be doing as Landfill Manager
Working to tight environmental and safety standards, you’ll day-to-day manage the whole facility, ensuring it complies with permits, working plans, and Grundon policies and procedures. You’ll ensure that each phase of the landfill is developed in line with the approved scheme and CQA documents, and waste is received in accordance with procedures and permits.

Relationship-building skills are key to success in this role. As the site’s lead manager, you will mentor and support a dedicated team of 11 staff (landfill operatives, weighbridge staff and a site supervisor), while also overseeing contractors and visitors to ensure efficient operations. You’ll take charge of recruitment, training and staff development, fostering a positive team culture.

What you’ll need
‘Musts’ include at least three years’ waste management experience, and a full UK driving licence. If you don’t have a Certificate of Technical Competence (COTC) or (IOSH) Managing Safely qualification, you’re willing to achieve them.

Why Grundon – and what’s in it for you
We believe in nurturing talent and offer plenty of training and professional development opportunities. Our multiple award-winning company continues to invest for the long-term future, with projects that will bring both commercial and environmental benefits.

As Landfill Manager, you can expect a perks and benefits package that includes:
• Company car
• Private healthcare
• Discretionary company bonuses
• Pension scheme (you contribute 5% of pay, Grundon matches this) with life insurance cover
• 30 days’ annual leave (inclusive of 8 bank holidays), which will increase with service, plus the option to buy up to 5 extra days’ holiday

Ready to join us?
We interview as soon as strong applications come in, so don’t wait – apply now to become our next Landfill Manager and work with a supportive and forward-thinking team.
